My WEM 1/350th Illustrious etch for the Airfix kit dropped through the letterbox yesterday.

Have to say I am very impressed, 1 approx A4 and one half A4 sheet, details for Illustrious post 2005 refit to fit the kits confirguration, plus mast / radar / catwalk details for Invincible 1995 for those brave souls who wish to backdate the kit. Also included, bridge window wipers, cable reels, liferaft canister racks, fire hose reels, assorted platforms, floodlight clusters, funnel details & funnel crests, boat details etc + all the usual stuff.

I am really looking forward to having space on my workbench to get stuck into this one.

Will post some pics later in the week (unless somebody beats me to it.)
